Feeling Good is the second collaboration between two kings of the beats and bassfunk scene; Mooqee & Pimpsoul. Delivered by the label that defined the sound; Bombstrikes. The previous release from the pair was something of an underground smash, holding the top spot on Beatport’s Hip Hop charts for over 150 days consecutive as well as making into the finalists for the influential Beatport Music Awards. Feeling Good looks like taking it further with over 150k views on youtube so far and airtime already from BBC Radio 1 and 1 Xtra, Capital, Kiss and XFM. With Dj support coming from Utah Saints, Danny Byrd, Drumsound, Jaguar Skillz, Krafty Kuts and many more. Plus it got a great 9/10 review in DJ mag .
The incredibly talented Bianca Gerald delivers the wonderfully soulful vocals. Having worked alongside the likes of Jessie J and Blessed Beats. Remixes come from Tantrum Desire (Technique Records’ artists is one of the hottest names on the DnB and Dubstep scene at the moment topping DnB sales charts including recent no.1 on beatport), Rory Lyons (Sugarbeat Records and Cassette Jam fame), Herbgrinder (name to watch out for and has been picked up by the likes of Ministry of sound for remix work).
Our personal fave is of course from RORY LYONS MIX … look out for more on this excellent label in the very near future!

Join us at Manilla, Leicester this Thursday fromćļ¼ļ¼pm until late.
21, Contour Fashion student, design lover and Haribo addict.
Iām Sarah, Superflyās new fashion blogger, and as a relative newbie to the blogging circuit itās only right I introduce myself…
Iām in my final year of Contour Fashion (Lingerie and Swimwear design), a Guinness lover and mushroom hater. I once turned up a day early to a fancy dress party dressed as a penguin and one day I will own a vintage mustang. Although my days are filled with knickers and bras, Iām going to fight my way through the thongs, find my computer and update you with the latest in fashion. Throughout the entire fashion spectrum, from street style spotlights to trend outlines and news from the latest collections, Iām going to be here to tell you about it, and not going to lie, Iām a little excited!
With the sun making a guest appearance last month, I wasnāt the only girl to don the obligatory summer uniform of a floral summer dress and denim jacket. But sadly it appears the sun has gone back into hibernation for a little while and weāre wearing our coats again. So big thanks to any trend that allows me to roll out of bed at 5 to 9 on a cold morning and wear pyjamas to my lectures.
Thatās right – pyjamas (yes, I know what youāre thinking. But bare with me). From Dolce & Gabbanna to Topshop, the fashion sect are falling over their sky scraper heels to wear matching tops and bottoms, and itās definitely not Noel Coward theyāre channelling. Think big, bold, bright, exotic inspired hyper prints and fruit – lots and lots of it. The Prada banana print that made waves in 2011 is where it all began, a print that within minutes of hitting the catwalk spawned an army of lookalikes on our High Street. Iām going to be honest, I wasnāt too sure about pyjamas or bananas (or bananas in pyjamas) until my friend donned a matching paisley set from Warehouse, OK itās definitely a trend for the fashion brave. You definitely wonāt blend in to the background thatās for sure, but walking with her to university one grey day in March, it seemed like the perfect fashion antidote to the sea of winter greys and blacks.

Well, as Good Friday hangovers go, this is one not to be missed. We’re getting a wee bit excited about this weekend over at superfly-city.com. Not content with bringing you the sounds of Louie Fresco at Friday’s Onefifteen we bring the one and only Girl Unit for a Thursday night eggstrava… it’s Easter and you know the rest.
GIRL UNIT
Signed to the cutting edge London imprint NIGHT SLUGS. Girl Unit has been dropping forward thinking tune, after forward thinking tune. None bigger and more fresh than ‘Wut’ the record that crossed so many genres the mighty Claude Von Stroke even stuck his unique Orr in and delivered two massive remixes of the already great track!
This along with his show stopping DJ sets are sure to catapult Girl Unit firmly into 2012 as a leading player of all things Electronically interesting. Those of you that caught MJ Cole for free a few months back will know this will be the place to be on Thursday!
The show stats at 8pm so make sure you get down to represent joining us will be residents from DBE, Skrabble, Hubble and the Wellgosh crew. We’re a little bit hyped. It all goes down at the interlude, 2 eastern boulevard, leicester. Remember the music sounds better with LE2!
STAY TUNED… We’re gonna be doing a more in depth preview of the show with our returning blogger extraordinaire Timber Wolfwood!
Words and a warm Superfly welcome to Abigail White!
What was once a small, one-day musical event is now an eagerly anticipated and award-winning 3-day musical delight. This year the 7,000 strong festivalgoers can look forward to seeing Jack Beats and Olugbenga to name just a couple, in the dance arena hosted by Superfly and Dbe.
Summer Sundae really is a festival for all music lovers, as there is genuinely something for everyone. However, it is the prospect of seeing a DJing duo that really will whip up the crowds and an artist who is creating a very unique sound which is what I am most excited for.
JACK BEATS
Jack Beats are an award-winning duo, consisting of Niall Dailly and Ben Geffin. Before joining forces in 2007, they had both been part of successful DJ groups but decided to leave and start a new project together. Niall had been part of Scratch Perverts and Ben (Beni G) part of The Mixologists, both of which will have helped the duo become the DJs they are today. They made their mark on the music scene with great speed and were very soon recognised by clubbers and those in the music industry as a winning combination.
They have produced successful remixes for La Roux, Skream, Beyonce, Fake Blood, Florence & The Machine and Passion Pit, as well as producing their very own original sounds. They have had a very distinct and unique sound from the very beginning as they often combine Hip-hop, House, Dubstep, Electro and Drum & Bass into one very unusual but effective combination. Their success is apparent when you see names such as Annie Mac, Zane Lowe and Diplo all praising the work that they are doing.
They have previously had a residency at Fabric and played to 80,000 people in L.A on NYE 2010. However, this summer is also set to be big for them due to having slots at the impressive Hideout, Sonar, T in the Park, SW4 and of course the Summer Sundae festival. Have a listen to the links below in order to check out their sound and get that little bit more excited about seeing them perform this summer.
Just try sitting still to their remix of āDrumming Songā by Florence & The Machine and if youāre like me and the many other fans, youāll find it pretty impossible.
See below for a dirtier and bass heavy sound that was one of their first EPās to create a buzz after being released on Herveās Cheap Thrills Records.
Finally, for a much newer offering from the talented duo, have a listen to āEnd of Loveā and count down the days till Summer Sundae.
OLUGBENGA
Olugbenga originally became a well-respected name due to being part of the very successful group, Metronomy. However, he is now steadily creating his own following due to a string of well received remixes that he has created himself. Olugbenga can also be found writing music, DJing and having a very sleek and informative blog.
Olugbenga was born to a Nigerian father and Kenyan mother and his African roots can often be heard in the music that he produces. However, with other influences such as Om Unit, MIA, Clams Casino, Plastician, Skepta, Swizz Beats and obviously Metronomy, his sound is both unique and unforgettable.
His fan base is global as his past shows have been in countries such as Australia, the UK and Japan to name just a few. Perhaps it is Olugbengaās ability to successfully combine Pop, Rock, Hip-hop, Electronica and African sounds that have resulted in a growing fan base and why it is no doubt that he will be a great hit at Summer Sundae.
In order to get a better understanding of what you can expect to hear from Olugbenga at Summer Sundae, have a listen to the links below and become of the many who appreciate his fresh and exciting talent. The EP āUylssesā is originally by Jim Croft, but Olugbenga has created an unusual combination with a track that is both base heavy and yet also delightfully blissful and chilled.
Olugbenga clearly comes from a talented family as he has recently created a remix of his brother, Seyeās āWhite Noiseā EP. It really is a beautiful offering with the likes of Rob da Bank on Radio 1 giving it a well-deserved play.
You can buy tickets for the Summer Sundae festival very, very soon! For more information on this great varied festival check out the Summer Sundae website

Feeling Good looks like taking it a step further with airtime already from BBC Radio 1 and 1 Xtra, Capital, Kiss and XFM in the UK and over 150k, yes 150 thousand! Youtube views.

We are very excited to have just announced that we will be teaming up with Loughborough’s ‘DBE‘ to host the dance arena at this years Summer Sundae Weekender!
Summer Sundae Weekender is a festival of 7,000 people set in Leicester’s De Montfort Hall and Gardens from 17th – 19th August 2012. Now in its twelfth year, the event has grown from a modest one – day affair headlined by Morcheeba and Lambchop into an award- winning three-day festival with camping. The event is often lauded for managing to keep the intimate, relaxed feel which launched its success. Having played host to Patti Smith, David Byrne, Amy Winehouse, Elbow, Belle and Sebastian, Mumford and Sons and Seasick Steve among countless others, Summer Sundae is also praised for having an eclectic line-up.
Held in the centre of Leicester, Summer Sundae is unique in bringing a green-field festival experience to an easily accessible urban location. Situated less than 10 minutes’ walk from the city’s train station, this also affords the festival excellent green credentials with over 50% of the audience arriving to the event by sustainable transport.
The DBE & Superfly City stage is proud to host some huge names including Katy B, Jack Beats and Superfly Management’s very own Olugbenga (Metronomy). Check out the full line up here: http://summersundae.com/lineup
